Abstract

Trustworthiness represents a fundamental criterion for ensuring rigor and scientific validity in qualitative research. Qualitative inquiry provides in-depth insights into human experiences within complex social and healthcare contexts; however, its credibility depends on systematic methodological rigor. This paper discusses the four core components of trustworthiness—credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability—as essential foundations for rigorous qualitative research. Credibility emphasizes accurate representation of participants’ lived experiences, dependability focuses on methodological consistency and transparency, confirmability ensures neutrality grounded in empirical evidence, and transferability addresses contextual applicability of findings. Various strategies, including prolonged engagement, triangulation, member checking, audit trails, reflexive journaling, and thick description, enhance trustworthiness across qualitative studies. Strengthening trustworthiness not only improves research quality but also increases confidence in qualitative findings for healthcare practice, policy development, and academic scholarship. Therefore, systematic application of trustworthiness principles is essential for producing reliable, meaningful, and impactful qualitative research outcomes.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has diverted attention from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, despite the ongoing need for substantial attention. In Indonesia, HIV/AIDS cases continue to fluctuate, with a significant cumulative number, highlighting the importance of community involvement in prevention and treatment efforts. The main barrier to addressing HIV/AIDS is the stigma and discrimination faced by People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), which hinders their access to healthcare services and social support. This article examines the approach of Community System Strengthening as a strategy to reduce stigma and discrimination against PLWHA. Through education, community involvement, and continuous counseling, it is hoped that society can become more supportive and reduce the social stigma PLWHA face. This study also provides community-based intervention guidelines as a solution to enhance the health and well-being of PLWHA in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Sleep disturbances are common among elderly individuals and negatively affect physical health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological approaches such as lavender aromatherapy have increasingly been used to improve sleep quality across different populations. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality among elderly patients. Methods: This study applied a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 60 elderly participants were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups consisting of 30 participants in the intervention group and 30 participants in the control group. The intervention group received lavender aromatherapy through a diffuser for 30 minutes each night before bedtime for 14 consecutive days, while the control group received routine care without aromatherapy exposure. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention period. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-tests to evaluate changes in sleep quality within each group and independent t-tests to compare differences between the intervention and control groups. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean PSQI score in the intervention group decreased from 11.3 ± 2.1 at baseline to 6.2 ± 1.8 after the intervention, whereas the control group showed no significant change. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in the intervention group and significant differences between groups after the intervention. Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy significantly improves sleep quality among elderly patients and may serve as an effective complementary intervention in geriatric nursing care.

Abstract

Background: Nurses, as frontline healthcare providers, play a pivotal role in shaping patients’ end-of-life experiences. In Indonesia, where Islam is the predominant religion, nurses’ perceptions of a peaceful death are closely intertwined with religious and cultural values. However, empirical evidence exploring peaceful death from the perspective of Indonesian Muslim nurses remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore in depth the perceptions of a peaceful death among Indonesian Muslim nurses within the context of end-of-life care. Methods: This study employed a qualitative exploratory descriptive design. Participants were Muslim nurses with experience in caring for terminally ill patients and were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability strategies. Results: Four main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) acceptance of death as a divine decree, (2) peaceful death as freedom from unnecessary suffering, (3) the central role of family and interpersonal relationships, and (4) the professional role of nurses in facilitating a dignified death. These themes illustrate that a peaceful death is perceived as an integration of spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, and professional dimensions of care. Conclusion: Indonesian Muslim nurses perceive a peaceful death as a holistic process emphasizing spiritual acceptance, patient comfort, family support, and dignified nursing care. These findings highlight the importance of culturally and spiritually sensitive palliative nursing practices.
